Gogglebox's Malone family invite Kardashians on show to share their iconic snack tray

The Malone family have revealed which celebrities and famous families they'd love to join them on their sofa for an episode of Gogglebox one day.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror at the Pride of Manchester Awards on Tuesday night, the TV critics confessed they'd love to invite Louis Theroux into their home for a special episode one day - and joked that The Kardashian family could "squeeze in" for a cameo with them on the award-winning show.

After suggesting documentary maker Louis, Happy Mondays star Bez and The Osbourne family would all make great additions to their couch, dad Tom Sr stated that American's most famous family would be welcome round for a cup of tea and a biscuit.

"How many girls are in that family, with all the big bums? What are they called?" Tom Sr mused on the red carpet outside Kimpton Clocktower Hotel.

"The Kardashians! That's the one," the TV star laughed. "They could squeeze in with us."

The Malone family have become British TV reality royalty thanks to their long-running stint on the Channel 4 show, with fans loving tuning in to watch their hilarious telly commentary and catch a glimpse of their infamous array of snacks.

Whether it's sticky buns, sweet treats or chocolate biscuits, the Manchester-based family's TV snacks are always proudly on display, but mum Julie can't see The Kardashians enjoying them if they did pop round for a cameo.

"I don't think they'd eat out snacks, would they? Too many calories," the Gogglebox star joked before heading inside for the inspiring awards.

In addition to chatting about their dream celebrity co-stars, The Malones also discussed how they've adapted to life in the spotlight - with Tom Sr joking he's given some awkward looks over the years when getting used to being a recognisable face.

"It felt a bit strange when we first started doing [Gogglebox]," Tom explained when chatting about fans spotting him on the street.

"As a bloke, when you see people are staring at you, you think 'what are you staring at?' and then you remember they recognise you off telly. It was a bit strange."

Daughter Vanessa - who joined the Channel 4 show last year - admitted she's still adapting to strangers knowing who she is.

"I'm still at that phase now because I've only been on there for the last year," the NHS nurse explained on Tuesday night.

"Mum and dad have been familiar faces for a very long time, but I only started the show last March, so I'm still getting used to that feeling."

She added: "Sometimes you'll see someone looking at you and you think 'Do I know them?' and it's not - I'm still getting used to it."

Dad Tom Sr chimed in, joking that many fans don't recognise them outside of their living room setting.

"We'll have to carry a couch around with us and sit down on it, then they know who we are," the TV star quipped on the red carpet.
